I decided to devote a separate article to fun science experiments, as our customers often ask us to make a children's holiday entirely educational. In other words, the program with animators can be completely replaced by an interesting scientific show.
What occasions is a science show suitable for?
This program is worth ordering if:
- You do not want the program to have a lot of outdoor games. Fine! The kids won't be running around. Their goal is to learn how to control the elements and make mind-blowing special effects on their own.
- Your children have visited many holidays with animators and know competitions and relay races by heart. Nothing to do with pirates and princesses! Only science in its most spectacular expression!
- You decide to gather a lot of children different ages and don't know what to come up with to make it interesting for everyone. science show— a great way out. Everything will be so spectacular that a child at 3 years old and a teenager of 15 years old will feel “at ease”.
- Do you want children to learn new things?. Yes, everything will be so. The host explains each experience at a level that is understandable to children who have not yet studied chemistry and physics. If the children are older, the interpretation of miracles will be more scientific.
- It is important for you that children are not just spectators, but also active participants in the show.. For each experiment, assistants are called to the table with instruments, so that each child has time to feel like a scientist.
- You appreciate thoughtful scenarios in which every second is surprising and delightful. So many experiments are carried out in an hour and a half that the facilitator has to quickly speak and move around in order to have time to show everything they have planned.
What's in the program?
There are several options for scenarios, here is a brief description of each of them:
Incredible Science (60-70 minutes)
Children will throw lightning, break a rose into small pieces, invent snow, build a vortex cannon, grow ice sculptures and even design hydrogen bomb. Only 18 rooms!
Fire and Ice (60-70 minutes)
I will list some of the names of the rooms: Frosty breath, What a taste carbon dioxide, Smoke foam, invisible water, volcano, vortex rings, slime, etc. (total 15 rooms).
Terminator Suppressor (60-70 minutes)
Liquid nitrogen - in the lead role. Here, your children will find a fruit hammer and an ice shower, nitrogen fog and fire in the palm of your hand, a foam invasion and glowing worms. Only 14 amazing experiences!
War of the Worlds (90 minutes)
This program brings together the most spectacular experiences with electricity, dry ice and liquid nitrogen. 27 best numbers from all programs!
How much does a science show cost?
The cost is influenced by two factors: the number of participants and the remoteness of the venue.
Program / number of people
up to 15 people
up to 20 people
up to 35 people
Incredible Science (60-70 min.)
Fire and Ice (60-70 min)
Terminator Suppressor (60-70 min.)
War of the Worlds (90 min.)
Up to 3 km from the Moscow Ring Road - free departure, up to 15 km - up to 1500 rubles, up to 40 km - up to 3000 rubles.
For her 11th birthday, Leah "ordered" a scientific birthday party. The name came right away - "NIICHAVO" (according to the Strugatskys), but the content took a little longer.
The invitations were issued in the form of a standard booklet advertising a private company ( ready template). The cover reads: " NIICHAVO. Everything will be nothing, and maybe a FAQ, but for sure - it will be!". A lot of information fit inside (still 3 sheets!).

NIICHAVO is a cool laboratory for curious people.
At the heart of the activity is the question: "What will happen if? .."
2. NIICHAVO Laboratory invites you to **.**.2011 for the Day open doors. You will have the opportunity to conduct a couple of extremely relevant experiments, arrange an explosive experiment (one) and learn a lot of interesting and instructive things.
3. Start at 12.00.
Debris clearing - 15.00
Venue: NIICHAVO
The address
Tel.
Holding
I gave out badges with the inscription "NIICHAVO" to all those arriving.
Conducted a brief safety briefing (strictly follow the instructions, do not taste anything, make every effort and not destroy the apartment).
Then there was a sanity test.
The children were asked to cut a strip of paper into 3 parts, making only 1 cut.
Everyone coped surprisingly easily (I myself thought longer) - everyone just folded the strip and “ chik!". Here are 3 parts for you.
After that, the practical part began.
I want to note that the children were not interested in the scientific aspect of the experience itself (tension, density, etc.), they were only interested in the effect.
They are 11 years old, they do not study physics or chemistry, they are not very interested in the laws of the universe. But they liked mixing and adding so much that after a month, the parents were still saying that the children demanded to provide them with the right ingredients at home..
Experience #1
Fill the glass with water up to the rim. Cover the top with thin cardboard (part of the cereal box - perfect option) and, holding the paper with your palm, quickly turn the glass over. Now remove your hand.
Will water spill out of the glass? What if there is less water?
How much water does it take to get it out?
The results are compared and discussed.
Experience No. 2
Pour whole milk into a bowl.
Carefully apply a drop of liquid food coloring in a different color to the middle.
Dip a Q-tip into the dishwashing liquid, and then gently touch the milk.
Experience No. 3
Inflate and deflate Balloons in advance.
At the party, pour a Coca-Cola into each balloon, tie it up and shake the balloon.
What will happen? Why?
Experience No. 4
Pour vegetable oil into a tall stemmed glass.
And in a bowl a little alcohol solution (you can vodka). Take a pipette and gently drop the solution into the oil. What's happening? How long can the solution be added?
Experience No. 5
Pour some water into a plate (preferably tinted).
Put down the coin and ask who can take the coin without getting their hands wet.
After listening to the versions, say that you can do it.
Put a tea (heating) candle in a plate and light it.
Cover the candle with a glass so that it touches the bottom of the plate.
Water will be sucked into the glass, and you can easily get a coin without getting your hands wet.
Give everyone a chance to try.
Experience No. 6
I copied this experience from my Harry Potter script.
At that time there were many questions, so I will describe the preparation in more detail.
Take red cabbage (and only red cabbage), cut.
Add to boiling water (ideally distilled, but you can also just filtered). After a minute, remove from heat and let stand for 30 minutes.
Strain.
Pour the water into different containers. Add whatever comes to mind.
Lemon juice, vinegar turn the water bright red.
Try adding Orange juice and spoiled milk. Add to another vessel alkali - soda, washing powder, liquid bath cleaner.
Soda presumably makes the solution blue, and ammonia- green, but...
Imagine, everyone’s solutions turned out to be different! Inexplicable, but cool.
Experience No. 7
Take wooden, plastic and metal spoons and a straw.
Attach a bead to each spoon with a piece of butter on the same height. Place the spoons in a measuring cup and pour in about 7 cm of hot water.
What will happen? Why?
Experience No. 8
Take a small piece of cardboard and, holding it in front of a lit candle, blow.
What will happen to the flame?
Connect the ends of the cardboard and secure with paper clips without bending the middle.
Put paper clips to the candle and blow again.
What happens to the flame now?
Experience No. 9
Pour into a large glass in turn sweet syrup, glycerol, colored water, vegetable oil, colored alcohol.
Pour carefully over the rim of the glass and let the liquid settle before adding more.
What happened?
« The beauty!' one boy said dreamily.
Experience No. 10
This experience is best done last - it is very popular, takes a lot of time and requires a lot of cleanup after the event.
Everyone prepares their own goo.
To do this, mix the starch and cold water(400 gr. and one and a half cups, but it is better to experiment by adding water a little bit). Then add color and...
Someone begins to have fun (children), and someone watches in horror (parents). I hasten to reassure - everything is perfectly cleaned with a vacuum cleaner (from the carpet) and a rag (from oilcloth).
Goo is neither liquid nor solid.
You can make balls out of it, and if you put the ball in the palm of your hand, then the guu turns into a liquid and flows. It was the hit of the evening.
And then there was a cake and a discussion of the results. The children were delighted.
The best compliment was the phrase Leah, it cost me dearly to come here, but it was worth it!". The only negative is that the photographs are not very advantageous: well, flasks and flasks, and the very moment of the “transformation” is very difficult to capture.

Visiting Archimedes
(birthday script for growing children)
My daughter turned 10 this year, and this is the age when pirates, the search for maps and treasures in the chest no longer inspire. Therefore, we decided to focus on an "adult" topic - natural science experiments and experiments. The key character was Archimedes, and he led us along the path of learning the secrets of the world around us.
I have always been fascinated by the idea of Tanya Lavrenova's holiday "The Secret of the Montgolfier Brothers", so our scientific research smoothly taxied to the task of lifting off the ground with the help of a balloon. I thought for a long time and painfully how to connect Archimedes with aeronautics, until I found in one encyclopedia magic words: « The lifting force of the balloon is created by the gas enclosed in the shell (or heated air) with a density less than the density of the surrounding air (according to the law of Archimedes)". And everything immediately fell into place.
And as a form, we used Tatyana's idea from "The Day of Riddles and Trials" and her outstanding computer program.
So both Tatyana thanks a lot for ideas and inspiration!
In total, 10 children participated in the holiday, of which 8 were 10-year-olds, one was a little older and one was a couple of years younger. This time we were at home (and not in nature, as usual), because. they constantly used all kinds of equipment, and the experiments required "home" conditions.
The guests were given stylized invitations with a courageous Archimedean profile on the cover in advance.
We started the holiday by watching the cartoon "Kolya, Olya and Archimedes" - a sort of Soviet history about the journey of the pioneers Ancient world and comprehension in practice of the law of Archimedes. In our case, it was an introduction to the topic.
With Movie Maker, I inserted the captions at the end:
"Attention! Insert paper into the printer immediately! You have a letter from Archimedes.
The letter was, of course, pre-printed, so as soon as the paper was inserted, the printer printed the message. I will not quote it in full, but its essence boiled down to the fact that Archimedes from time immemorial addresses children and invites them into the world physical laws. He will communicate with them using a computer, for which they need to find the "Archimedes" file on the desktop and run it (the same program by Tatyana P.). And as an assistant, he sends his student and friend Dr. Grigorius to them (our dad Grisha, wrapped in a white sheet, is a real physicist).
The children quickly found the file and launched the program (of course, with changes made to it beforehand). The greeting went like this:
« Today you are waiting for experiments, tasks, experiments and tests. After each experiment, you will have to answer my question and enter the answer into the computer. If it is correct, then you can get the next task. You will enter the codes in turn, the birthday girl begins. But first, I must test your intelligence and erudition.
You are ready? If yes, then press any key».
The guys press the key and get the first task:
1. Find envelope No. 1 (Where? We indicate a secret place). Read the statements and guess if they are true or not. For each correct answer ("yes" or "no") you will learn one letter. Guess which country and its capital are hidden in the resulting sentence, and enter them in capital Russian letters separated by a space (first the country, then the city).
Envelope #1
It contains a list of statements. The task was borrowed from Tatyana P., where you can see the questions and the correct answers.
For this test, I prepared a special form.
The desired proposal was written on a large sheet with a pencil (thinly, so as not to shine through). Each letter was covered with two leaves. On the top was written the number of the question, on the second (again, thinly) - the correct answer ("yes" or "no").
That is, we read a statement, for example:
« Children can hear higher sounds than adults».
The guys discussed whether it was true or not, and gave a group decision.
We picked up the first piece of paper and looked at what was written on it - “yes” or “no”. If their answer was correct, we raised the second leaf, under which there was a letter.
If the answer would be wrong, but the letter remained closed.
In our case, it was not possible to open all the letters (although it should be noted that the children gave more correct answers the first time than I did when I first read these questions), but they turned out to be enough to guess the rest.
Our proposal was: Franz and I made a bet, Jacques is a witness»
In it we found the country - France and the capital - Paris. These are "hooks" for the future (because the history of aeronautics begins in France).
We enter the code words into the computer, go to the next task.
2. Well done, you did a great job!
Now find the envelope number 2 (we indicate the place where to look). There you will find descriptions of several physical experiments. Everything you need is on the table. Read the descriptions of the experiments carefully and only then conduct them.
Do not forget to invite Dr. Grigorius - he will be your faithful assistant.
Discuss how this is done, thanks to what? Enter this word, this is the code.
Despite the simplicity of all the proposed experiments, I would advise you to first try to conduct them yourself, since there are some nuances in all.
Before each description there was a warning that you should first carefully read the description of the experience, and only then proceed with its implementation.
All the necessary equipment is collected on a small table.
From there, children take what they need to conduct this experience.
Envelope №2
Experience 1.
Equipment - a glass, a bottle of water, thick paper, a basin
Take a glass, a bottle of water and a piece of thick paper.
Fill the glass with water up to the rim. Cover the glass with a sheet of thick paper and, holding the paper with your palm, quickly turn the glass upside down.
Now remove your hand. Will water spill out of the glass?
You need to conduct the experiment over the pelvis.
If the water is poured to the top, the paper is thick enough and pressed well, then the water does not pour out, and the sheet seems to stick to the edge of the glass.
Experience 2.
Equipment - bowl, colored water, cork, glass
Take a tall glass and a bowl. Pour tinted water into a bowl (so that the water level is about 5-6 cm), put a cork in it and place a glass turned upside down directly on the cork. Is there still the same level of water under the glass as in the plate?
This experience is called diving bell".
If the glass is high enough, and not too much water is poured, then there is no water left under the glass at all, the cork lies at the bottom of the bowl. And outside the glass, the level rises slightly. Water can be slightly tinted (for example, with potassium permanganate) to make the experience look spectacular. But you can also use plain water.
Experience 3.
Equipment - plate, water, candle, lighter
Pour some water into a plate (can be tinted). Gently put a candle ("tea", in a metal mold) in a plate, light it. Cover the candle with the glass so that it touches the bottom of the plate. What will happen to the water?
When the candle goes out, the water will be sucked into the glass. To make the experience look spectacular, it is better to pour quite a bit of water. Then it will all be sucked into the glass, and the plate outside the glass will be dry. If you take not a plate, but a small saucer, then it will generally "stick" to the glass, and the glass can be lifted along with the saucer.
Experience 4.
Equipment - transparent water bottle, stopper, pipette
Fill the bottle with water, leaving two to three millimeters to the edge of the neck.
Take a pipette, draw some water into it and lower it into the neck of the bottle.
It should be at or slightly above the level of the water in the bottle with its upper rubber end. In this case, it is necessary to achieve that, from a slight push with a finger, the pipette sinks, and then slowly rises up by itself.
Now close the cork and squeeze the sides of the bottle, hold for a bit. What will happen to the pipette?
When squeezing the bottle, the pipette will sink to the bottom.
For this experiment, it is very important to control how much water is drawn into the pipette. If it is too small, you will need to squeeze the bottle very hard, children's strength is not enough for this. If there is more water in the pipette, it is enough to squeeze the bottle just a little, and the experience looks much more effective.
After all the experiments, we discuss which action physical strength they illustrated for us. It should be noted that the children turned out to be quite “advanced” and almost did not need the help of Dr. Grigorius.
We enter the code word - pressure into the computer. We get the following task:
3. Find the envelope number 3 (place). Conduct experiments.
By what force does this come about? Enter code.
Envelope №3
Experience 1.
Equipment - plate, water, strip of paper, scissors, dishwashing liquid
Pour clean water into a bowl.
Take scissors and, holding a narrow strip of paper over the plate, cut off small squares from it, trying to do it so that the pieces falling into the water are located on the water in a ring in the middle of the plate and do not touch each other or the edges of the plate.
Take soap (or dishwashing liquid) and put one drop in the center of the dish. What will happen to the papers?
They will quickly scatter to the edges of the plate.
Experience 2.
Equipment - plate, water, blade, needle, buttons, magnet
Can metal float on water?
Very carefully take a razor blade (it's very sharp!) and place it on the surface of the water. What happened?
Try to weight the blade by carefully placing a needle and 1-2 buttons on it. Try putting a needle on the water. What happens if you pre-magnetize it?
If the blade is placed carefully on the water, it will not sink, but will float on the surface of the water. When it is weighted (with a needle and buttons), you can see how it is slightly pressed into the water, but still does not sink.
If the needle is pre-magnetized, you get a compass.
You can also try driving a blade or needle through the water with a magnet.
Experience 3.
Equipment - glass, sunflower oil, alcohol mixture, pipette, bowl
Pour sunflower oil into a glass. Pour some alcohol solution into the bowl. Take a pipette and carefully, drop by drop, inject the solution into the oil. What is happening to him? What form does the liquid take? Why? Keep adding the solution until... Until what happens?
I took ordinary vodka, the alcohol content was sufficient. You can take medical alcohol and dilute with water.
The alcohol solution is collected in a beautiful ball that hangs near the surface.
When it becomes heavy enough, it sinks beautifully and smoothly to the bottom.
For this experiment, it is better to take not a glass, but a tall glass with a stem.
This will make it easier to observe from below to see the ball.
We discuss how it all works out - the papers scatter, the blade floats, the alcohol collects in a ball. The key phenomenon is surface tension.
Enter the word tension, go to the next level.
4. It seems, my friends, that you are a little tired.
You need to eat a little and rest. Eat the treat and write if you liked it. We make a snack (sandwiches, juice), write "yes",
let's go to the next level.
5. Find the envelope number 4 (place). Conduct experiments. The action of what force is illustrated by these experiments? Enter code.
Envelope №4
Experience 1.
Equipment - 2 eggs (boiled and raw), plate
Unroll both eggs on a large plate. You can see that the eggs behave differently. How to understand which one is boiled?
A boiled egg spins, but a raw one does not.
Experience 2.
Equipment - glass, postcard, coin
Take a glass. Put a postcard on it, and put a coin on the postcard.
Quickly click on the card.
What will happen to the coin? (She'll fall right into the glass)
What happens if the card is pulled slowly?
(The coin will move with the postcard)
We discuss, introduce the word "friction", go to the next level.
6. Find the envelope number 5 (place). Conduct experiments.
What changes in water, what is its characteristic? Enter code.
Envelope №5
Experience 1.
Equipment - three cans, alcohol solution, salt, water, egg, ice
Take three containers.
Pour into one alcohol solution (the strength of vodka was not enough, you need a little more. You can use not alcohol, but the cheapest cologne); in the second - water; in the third - a solution of salt.
Put in the first container (with an alcohol solution) an egg and a piece of ice.
Transfer them to a second container (with brine),
and then into the third (with clean water).
What happens to them? How to explain it?
Both ice and eggs sink in alcohol, both float in salt, and eggs sink in water, but ice does not.
Experience 2.
Equipment - weighted wax ball, glass, salt, water, transparent water bottle
Take the wax ball.
Put it in a container of water (the container should be about half full). The ball is slightly weighted (it itself is the size of a large grape, it has 2-3 paper clips inside), so it sinks. Prepare a salt solution (dissolve the salt in a glass of water until it no longer dissolves).
Pour a little saturated salt solution into the water and mix lightly. What happens to the ball?
He floats. By adjusting the amount of water and brine, you can ensure that the ball will hang in the middle of the container.
We discuss experiments, introduce the word "density". We get last task:
7. Remember the basic law that I discovered and proved? A buoyant force acts on a body immersed in a liquid or gas! For centuries, people have tried to use this power to lift themselves off the ground and into the sky. What was the name of the first aircraft on which a man took to the air? Enter the name in capital letters.
Enter the word " balloon" (I deliberately did not take the "balloon", because, firstly, it is too simple, and secondly, it is not entirely correct with scientific point vision) and receive a farewell message from Archimedes:
"Indeed, a balloon (or a balloon, as we used to call it) made a man's dream come true to take off from the earth. I was not destined to see it with my own eyes, but I know for sure that it happened. Find the file "Aerostat" on the computer desktop and listen to the history of aeronautics and the first flights of man, and at the same time remember about France! Who knows, maybe you can even build your own balloon!
And I, Archimedes, say goodbye to you. I send you greetings from the distant past, I wish you new interesting discoveries and all the best!"
In my search for information about balloons, I found an amazing resource that lays out the history of aeronautics concisely, but very informatively, text light for perception and is accompanied by incredibly beautiful pictures.
This is the site of the Kyiv Aeronautical Society.
Be sure to scroll through all 9 pages!
Based on this article, I prepared a short presentation in Power Point.
There was a minimum of text (mostly pictures), I tried to tell the story myself and give the children all sorts of tasks along the way so that they would not get bored.
For example, when we reached the first passengers of the hot air balloon, 3 volunteers had to portray them in pantomime (without sounds!), And the rest - to guess who it was (sheep, rooster and duck). Etc.
After the presentation, we started building our own balloons (thanks again to Tanya Lavrenova for the idea!). But first it was necessary to make passengers.
We made rope people.
They are knitted quite simply from two ropes, one is a little shorter (this is the base - the head and legs), the second is a little longer (these are the arms and body).
And it was possible, for example, to draw and cut out your portrait or mold passengers from plasticine.
Then we got to the baskets.
I bought small baskets (apparently, a planter, about 12 cm in diameter) in advance (very inexpensively, 15 rubles each), we tied strong threads of the same length to them.
I managed to find really huge balloons (about a meter in diameter), which we inflated with helium (we bought a balloon in advance, which is not a problem in Moscow).
Previously, the children were divided into pairs, and each pair made one balloon. This was due not only to limited number gas (it would simply not be enough for 10 such balls), but it was not easy to cope with the fact that it was not easy to cope alone.
Threads tied to baskets were attached to the balls with adhesive tape.
Attention! In no case should the adhesive tape be peeled off from the ball, because. he can burst. We lost one balloon like that!
We put our passengers in the baskets, and also put notes in which on one side was written a wish for the birthday girl (it was voiced by the authors), and on the second - our own cherished desire(remained a secret).
Then we amicably went out into the street and at the expense of "one-two-three!" launched their balloons. And for a long time they followed their flight in the clouds - fortunately, the weather was clear.
It was, of course, a little pitiful to release our works of art, but the helium from the balloons would have evaporated in a day anyway, and our beautiful balloons bursting into the sky would have turned into crumpled rags. And so we all - both children, and adults, and bystanders - got a lot of vivid impressions!
And at home we were waiting for a treat - pizza and a birthday cake.
By the way, the kids made their own pizza.
Thus, we decided common problem- When some guests arrive early, while others are late. While the holiday has not yet begun, we invited everyone who came to join the pizza making.
The child should develop harmoniously, in addition to physical activity it is important to ensure the intellectual growth of the baby. At such a young age, any knowledge should come to the baby in game form so the acquired knowledge is easier to assimilate and remember for a long time. The best way to introduce children to scientific world- order for a holiday chemical show http://konfety.info/content/himicheskoe-shou. Such a scenario is rightfully considered universal, because it will harmoniously fit into the celebration of any subject.
What is a chemistry show like?
Depending on the theme of the celebration and the time of year, holiday agencies offer several exciting and original scenarios.
New Year Science Shows
1. Around the world.
The kids will get to know natural phenomena, like fog and snow, they learn about the properties of foam, smoke, for this they will have to visit rainy England, mysterious India, warm Hawaii, Italy on the New Year's super-express. On the journey, children will be accompanied by a cheerful professor who will tell about the New Year traditions of each country.
2. Detective adventure in New Year.
Happened on the eve of the holiday terrible event- Santa's watch was stolen. The animator, part-time detective, begins an investigation and he can not do without assistants. Children will get acquainted with the secrets of the detective's activity: learn to show invisible inscriptions, draw up an identikit, learn how to properly disguise themselves, prepare powder for fingerprinting.
Thanks to well-coordinated work the whole group will find watches and the New Year, of course, will come at its appointed time.
3. New Year's Fort Boyard.
All new Year gifts safely hidden in secret rooms Fort Boyard, however, in order to get to them, the guys will have to answer fascinating questions, pass funny tests, show quick wit, ingenuity, and courage. Such an interactive holiday can be combined with a show soap bubbles.
Graduation in kindergarten
1. Chemical transformations.
A professor will come to the kids for the holiday, who will arrange a smokehouse, show an amazing boil, make sizzling soda, create slimes that the children will receive as a gift. And the little spectators will also meet with crystals, whistling pipes and, of course, safe and very funny explosions.
2. Chemical special effects.
Very soon the kids will get acquainted with exact sciences at school. To prepare children for this meeting and show that chemistry is interesting and exciting, the show "Chemical Special Effects" will help. The kids will see how water turns into milk and vice versa, according to the ancient, secret recipe of alchemists, they will conjure gold and make toothpaste for an elephant, and also get acquainted with a chemical genie that can grant wishes, see a volcanic eruption and a magic traffic light. 
3. Four elements.
The most beautiful and mysterious show that will introduce kids to the four elements: water, wind, air and earth. The animators will tell the audience a legend about the appearance of a world of four elements, show soap bubbles, but not real, but fiery ones, show a volcanic eruption, and demonstrate the power of the wind. Of course, kids will be able to take part in each experiment.
Science show for children of primary school age
1. Physical show.
The program brought together the most exciting and spectacular experiences. In addition to four aggregate states substances (solid, liquid, gaseous and plasma), children will learn about Atmosphere pressure, interesting properties light and sound. Each experience is accompanied detailed explanations animators, of course, in the game and comic form. For example, with the help of soap bubbles, children will learn how to measure the wavelength of light, and clouds will suddenly appear from dry ice.
2. Alice in the chemical country.
Alice will come to the children for the holiday, White Rabbit, Hatter, who will tell about the magic fog, create souvenirs for the little guests, call a genie, for a snow-white smile Cheshire cat prepare toothpaste, unravel the secrets of the Black Queen and, of course, find themselves at the royal ball, which will turn into a foam party. 
3. Book of records.
Have you heard of the Guinness Book of Records? Why should we come up with a student record book? Who will blow the biggest bubble? Who will make the loudest explosion? Who will be the smartest? Who will have the most incendiary experience? The first results, the recorded results will certainly not be the last and will inspire the children to further study the exact sciences.
By the birthday man for the holiday is declared Crazy Scientist with which the guys spend interesting experiences and experiments. It also cannot do without competitions and festive treats.

Event progress
Everyone good day! With you today I am a mad scientist! I am the one who is afraid of the whole world, because I cannot be hunted down and caught! I know a lot of experiences and experiments! Do you want to go to my scientific laboratory together with me? Then go ahead!
They go to the laboratory, where various containers filled with multi-colored substances are placed on the table.
Look how pretty I am! There are so many amazing things here! By the way, did you notice if anyone was following us? Not? Okay, what can we hope for - we will cover our tracks!
Conducts the "Smoke without fire" experiment.
Small pieces of dry ice are gradually thrown into a container of water. As a result, thick smoke should fall, which is the usual fog. It appears as a result of cooling water vapor. The experiment is carried out by each participant individually, so that there are as many pairs as possible (as the Scientist explains).
Guys, I have so many bottles here that I wanted to make many, many shelves so that they do not force the whole table. But for some reason it didn't work for me! Look!
Takes 2 cans, puts a sheet of paper on them. He tries to put a glass container on top - the paper sheet bends, unable to withstand the weight.
I don't have any other stuff! How to be? Maybe someone will advise?
Children think. As a result, they must guess that the sheet needs to be folded like an accordion, then a glass container will stand on it.
Great you helped me! After today's holiday, I will make so many shelves that all my jars will fit on them! And now it would be necessary to restore a little order here. Can you help?
Conducts a competition-experiment "The power of breathing."
Clotheslines are stretched along the room (according to the number of participants). A hanger is hung on a rope, on which a book is fixed with strong threads. The guys blow on the book, trying to move it to the opposite end of the rope. They must guess that it is not necessary to solve the problem by force (in this case, the book's journey to the opposite end of the room will be very long). It is important to note here that with light regular blows it will be possible to move the book much further.
Now I'm in order! Now you can celebrate your birthday! Guys, do you know what a fun drink people usually drink on holidays? That's right - champagne! We will now make it with our own hands!
Conducts the "Cheerful Champagne" experiment.
A couple of small pieces of dry ice are thrown into a bottle of champagne filled a little more than half with water. Close the cork and shake until completely dissolved. Then the cork is released - it flies out, as if there is a real drink in it. The main thing in this experiment is not to overdo it with the amount of dry ice, otherwise the container may simply burst. You can hold a competition for the farthest flown cork.
Something seems to me that our pursuers still found the place where we are hiding. We urgently need to neutralize them! Do you think the bomb will help? Then let's start making it right now!
Conducts the "Bomb" experiment.
A small piece of rubber hose is twisted and fixed. From the other end, a little crushed dry ice is added inside, the second end is also wrapped and fixed so that no holes remain. The safety bomb is ready! Within a minute, the hose should swell and burst (it is important to install the hose at a distance from children). After the explosion, the Scientist at the door "finds" the rubber guns of the pursuers.
Now let's freeze their weapons so they can't use them against us!
Conducts the "Arctic Cold" experiment.
Acetone is poured into the container (all actions are carried out away from fire). Alternately throw a few pieces of dry ice. Acetone at first boils at the same time, then it begins to react more calmly. By this time, frost will begin to appear on the walls of the vessel - it is now very cold there. The scientist lowers a rubber weapon into the icy liquid and takes it out after about 10 minutes. The rubber becomes hard and brittle, the Scientist smashes it with a hammer.
Look how great everything turned out - they cleaned up the laboratory, got rid of the pursuers. Now you can celebrate! And now we will write mysterious messages to each other and learn to read them!
Performs the "Invisible Ink" experiment.
The same amount of water and lemon juice are mixed in a container. A fleece is wound on a toothpick - with this pen you will need to write with "lemon" ink any wish to the birthday man on paper. As soon as the sheet dries, it is brought to the included table lamp. When heated, the written words will appear on the paper, and the birthday person will be able to receive a written congratulation.
Then games and competitions are held:
- "Bird in a Cage". A bird is depicted on one side of the thick cardboard circle, and a cage on the other. 2 holes are pierced from above and below, through which threads are threaded. Holding the ends of the threads, the guys rotate the cardboard circle, twisting and unwinding the threads. Thus, a cartoon effect is created when it seems that the bird is in a cage.
- "Strongmen". The guys get cocktail straws. Their task is to stick a tube into a raw potato without crushing it. The secret is that you can do this by covering the upper end with your finger and sharply lowering the tube onto the potato.
- "Pipette". The task of the children is to transfer water from one glass to another with the help of a straw. To do this, you will need to lower the tube into a glass of water, clamp it from above, transfer it to an empty container and release the finger that was clamped. The water that was in the straw will flow into the empty glass.
- "Musicians". Flutes are made from straws: one end is flattened and cut, at the opposite end 3 holes are made at the same distance. They play by blowing into a straw and closing the holes alternately with their fingers. You can "sing" a specific melody (for example, "Happy birthday to you!").
Science is far from always a boring and serious business that only adults do. Children's holiday in scientific style can be a fun and exciting event if it is organized creatively. We will try to inspire you!
An unusual birthday of a child surrounded by flasks and test tubes will be a pleasant and useful holiday. Guests will learn a lot of new things, practice in the laboratory and test their knowledge. Amazing discoveries and pleasant surprises will cheer up all the children.
At a scientific holiday for children, there must be a leader - one of the adults who plays the role of a "crazy" scientist. This funny professor with funny habits and tousled hair will help the children conduct experiments in chemistry and physics. The kids won't get bored with it!
science holiday invitations
Little smarties and smart girls will be pleasantly surprised when they receive not only an oral invitation, but also a beautiful card indicating the date, place and time of the holiday. Decorate your invitation card chemical formulas, print frames from famous cartoons, the main characters of which are young scientists. The text may begin in a formal tone, with an appeal to little guest by name and patronymic. Be sure to write that the child is expecting exciting program and delicious food.
Scientific room decor
A room for a holiday in a scientific style should resemble a laboratory with all its appearance. Portraits of famous scientists hanging on the walls will help you with this, a table chemical elements, thick hardback books. Arrange cones and bottles with colorful juices everywhere. If the house has a blackboard, write the words "Happy Birthday!" with chalk. surrounded by chemical formulas.
Outfits for little scientists
Clothing should, at the first glance, give out inquisitive scientists in the guys. It's great if you can get white coats and round glasses with plain glasses for the children. Have a fun dressing up as soon as the guests step on the threshold of the "office". In addition, give each child a name badge that says "Scientist".
Scientific style table setting
Use a variety of jars, flasks and bottles to serve common foods and drinks. It will be interesting to look, for example, marmalade sweets or lollipops in glass "chemical" dishes. Even at the table, the guys will not leave the feeling that they are literally on the verge of a scientific discovery.
Jelly looks interesting different colors in cups, as well as other products with safe food colors. Blue lemonade or blue cookies - in the world of science, perhaps not!
Eating a bright cake, decorated with numbers and symbols of chemical elements, is, of course, one of the most enjoyable events of a scientific children's holiday. Cool fireworks with beautiful flowing sparks will give a magical atmosphere.
Science-style children's party fun
If you doubt your abilities and scientific knowledge, you can invite animators for the entertainment part of the holiday. But we propose to do on their own- and arrange a chemical show that will cause admiration and open up a lot of new things for the guys. If desired, parents can go on an excursion to the museum or planetarium with the birthday boy and guests.
Quiz. come up with interesting questions to test the knowledge of children. Be sure to consider the age of the guests. There should be a prize for each correct answer. Alternate complex and simple questions with fun and humor.
Drawings on milk. Ordinary milk can be poured into a large flat container, drip dishwashing liquid into it and add food colorings. When the ingredients are mixed, chemical reaction- and beautiful abstract patterns will appear.
Bubble. Offer guests a children's scientific holiday make your own soap bubble liquid. To do this, mix a glass of liquid soap with six glasses of plain water in a jar. Take the wire and bend it so that a ring forms at one end. Now it remains only to dip the ring into the mixture - and start the soap performance.
Tornado in a bottle. Show the kids an incredible experiment with water. plastic bottle 3/4 full with water, add a couple of drops of dishwashing liquid and glitter to get a better view of the tornado. Screw the lid on well and turn the container over, holding it by the “neck”. Swirl the bottle with quick movements and stop. Children will see a water whirlwind - a small tornado. Water moves around the center due to centrifugal force.
It is quite possible to organize a child’s birthday in a scientific style on your own. This day will be remembered by the birthday man and his guests with bright cheerful experiments and positive impressions. baby celebratory event in this format will be useful and inspire the kids!
